We love everything about birthdays including the excitement, fun, and all the desserts we can binge on. But, the thing we love the most about birthdays is getting free stuff! So, if your birthday is coming up and you want to pick up some extra treats, keep reading!

Most birthday freebies can be received via email when you sign up for a store's mailing list, loyalty program, or by downloading their app. We have complied an ultimate list of birthday freebies including food, desserts, drinks, makeup, and lots more. If your special day is coming up and you want to take advantage of these amazing offers, be sure to head over to some of these major retailers and restaurants before your big day arrives!

We've had our share of the generic birthday celebrations, with some meals with friends, selfies with cakes, a bit of dancing, and possibly the (last) round of shots that you would rather forget. This year, try something different and instead of planning a birthday with epic proportions. Take this opportunity to opt for a birthday celebration that revolves around collecting free stuff from all your favourite places.

Some of these birthday freebies will require you to sign up ahead of time, so check in advance to confirm that the offer is still valid at the time of your birthday.

So, without further ado, here's our ultimate list of the 15 best places for birthday freebies in Canada:
